A friend of mine who is a mechanic got a 250 dollar refund, does that mean he paid no taxes? hardly. he had roughly $10,000 taken from his paychecks through-out the year. They just over deducted slightly.

Exactly...except the employer is taking out the percentage that we are instructed to.
That way the U.S. Govt not only taxes us all...but it get to "double dip" on the Social Security by forcing employers to match it AND it gets to use the employees money for a year interest free before it gives them back a "refund"
And you know, every year people celebrate when they get their tax refund. They should actually be pissed off because they got fucked over.
The whole income tax set up is an amazing thing. The psychology of having the employer forced to basically provide tax services for their employees, match the SS funds, and then have the employees HAPPY for their refund is sheer genius.
And then the employees complain about the evil rich people.
The reality is we should all be pissed at the govt. They are the ones spending 13 BILLION dollars a day. They are the ones raping our society and turning us all into slaves.
This year "tax freedom day" was April 17th. That's the day in the U.S. where you finally start earning money for yourself instead of the govt. This year it was 4 days later than 2011.
So there's the reality. You worked from Jan 1st to April 17th for the U.S. govt.
Of course that doesn't count all the sales tax, drivers license fees, car registration, property tax, etc, etc, etc, et-fucking-cetra
